Chapter 20

I invited them to come back to the resort in the afternoon because the child was also tired after swimming. I picked it up and we walked to the car together because I was going to take them to their parents' house.
I let them ride with my mother before I speared the car. On the flight Andrea and I were both quiet, no one spoke to us, especially me. Until I had the courage to ask about Axel's daddy.
"Andrea, may I ask you something, if you don't mind," I said. And hopefully he will answer my questions.
"Sure, what do you want to ask sir?" she replied.
"Ahmm, where's Axel's daddy," he asked directly.
Suddenly she became silent and took a few sighs before being able to speak.
"I also don't know where he is," she replied with a sad look on her face.
I didn't ask again because I felt she didn't want to talk about it anymore. I respect what she wants, and maybe I don't need to bother since it looks like Andrea doesn't know her son daddy anymore.
"I'm sorry if I asked you more," I said.
"That's okay sir. I won't be looking for him again, well in fact Axel and I are happy, and if we cross paths again I don't know how to explain to him that we have a child.
I would have spoken more just in case we were right in front of their house. I got out of the car and asked the mother and daughter to open it, I also picked up Axel who was still asleep.
When I entered their house, Andrea's mommy came up to me.
"Come in," he said politely.
"Thank you," I replied. At the same time, the mother and daughter went straight to the room to lower Axel when he fell asleep soundly. I left them both first and I went out.
"Son, thank you for saving my grandson," said his mommy.
"It's nothing, I've only done small things," I said.
"It's not a small thing, you saved my grandson's life. I'm going to ask you if it's okay?" she said again.
"Sure, what is that?" my answer.
"Aren't you Axel's daddy?" It's a question.
"No. Andrea and I are just friends, but if she accepts my offer to court her, it might be true," I replied at the same time as I joked.
Her mommy was about to speak when Andrea came out of the room and wondered why I was still here.
"Sir, you haven't come home yet? It's a bit late because you might be up at night," she said.
"Why? Are you kicking me out again?" I'm joking here.
"I don't think so sir, maybe you have a lot to do," she replied.
"Nothing, but can I invite you outside?" I had the courage to ask her and I hope she agreed because it's my last day and tomorrow I will return to Manila early in the morning.
"Ahmm! All right sir, but let's just wait a minute and maybe Axel will wake up and look for me," she replied.
"Yes, we'll just wait a minute. I'll just show you something. Let's see if we don't catch up," I said.
We said goodbye to her mommy first and Andrea also instructed in case Axel wakes up and looks for him. After we said goodbye we went out and took a walk until I took him near the sea. I invited him to sit down and watch the sunset freely.
"Andrea, do you see that?" I asked him.
"Which one sir? The sea or the sunset?" It's a question.
"Sunset! Do you know what that means for me?" I asked him.
"I think that means something sir," she asked innocently.
"Yes it's in the dictionary but for me it's different. Sunset for me is Hope. Hope that every time it sinks tomorrow there will be a new light," I said passionately.
Suddenly it became quiet and I was free to watch her while looking into the distance. I don't know if she sees every time I look at her.
"Sir, It's nice," she said suddenly.
"Yes, it's very beautiful," I said but I was still looking at her. Eventually I felt a blow.
"You're just kidding sir, you're not looking at the sky," she said laughing.
"No ah! I'm looking at the sky," I lied because it looked like she caught me staring at her.
Suddenly I became serious and I looked her in the eye at the same time as I held her two hands. I saw her quiet and I was obviously embarrassed because she couldn't look directly at me.
"S-sir it's getting late," she said but looked away.
"Not yet ah! I said. At the same time I held her face and turned it infront of me.
"S-sir what ---" I didn't finish what she was going to say because I suddenly stole a kiss from her. At first she didn't want to go with me but later I just felt like she was enjoying my kiss. I was also free to caress her back while I deepened our kiss even more. I don't see any opposition to her. So my tongue explored the inside of her mouth. And in an instant I was free to kiss her main ear down to her neck. When I was about to take off her clothes I suddenly woke up.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"Don't say it again. I'll be the first," she said without hesitation. At the same time, run away from me.
I could do nothing but look at her from a distance.
"It's your l **** Stevenson," my brain screamed. Even my brain is angry at what I do. What else can it look like I will present to Andrea tomorrow.
I walked back to my room. I slumped on the bed and pretended to be asleep. But Andrea is still bothering my mind and that kiss, I will never forget that kiss. How she innocently kissed. I still remember her, the girl that I met five years ago.
Not so, I suddenly covered my mouth. But it's possible that she doesn't remember me. I need to do something, when I come home to Manila I will know everything. I need to know if they are one. And if that's her, it only means that Axel is my son. My son is Axel. It was fun to listen too. I couldn’t sleep anymore and I was excited to find out everything.
I knew it was night but I couldn't be bothered so I called the private investigator I had hired before. I dialed his number and luckily he answered my call quickly.
"Hello sir, what are you talking about?" it's a question.
"Ahm! I'm sorry to disturb you but I need your help. I just have a dad to investigate you. Find out all the information about them," I said.
"Okay sir, who am I going to look for?" its a question.
"You won't look for her, you'll just find out the full details and what other information is connected to her. She is Andrea VillaRuiz and Axel VillaRuiz. I need a result as soon as possible," I added.
"Okay sir copy," he said.
I turned off the call once. I suddenly smiled and prayed that my suspicion was correct. Until I fell asleep and I did not realize that I had fallen asleep.
ANDREA
The force of the pounding of my chest. Why is it that every time he kisses me I stumble, I almost repeat my past.
"You really crazy Andrea," I blamed myself and I slapped the left and right cheeks of my face. What else can it look like I will present to sir tomorrow. So embarrassing! Haixt.
After I washed my face, I stood beside Axel. But I still can't sleep because of what happened earlier. I turn around and I can't find my drowsiness. He is still the one I can see in my pupil, especially the kiss we had recently.
"You're numb because what do you look like you're going to present to him," I whispered.
I went out for a while and meditated. I wondered if I would show up to him or not. Will I act normal when facing him or am I shy? My mind was in turmoil at that moment.
What is he going to think of me? I don't even want to flirt anymore, but he's just giving me a kiss.
Arrgh! My head is aching. It's like I just want to shake my head until I can't remember anything. That's why I don't want a love life because for me it's just a headache in my life.
I don't have a love life yet but my head still hurts.
Since drowsiness still doesn't bother me, I thought of drinking alcohol. Only now will I cheat. Because of what happened five years ago, I swore that I would never really drink alcohol because it was bad for me.
I started drinking until I ran out of a bottle. And since drowsiness still did not want to visit me, I took another bottle of wine and drank it as well. Until I'm halfway there and drowsy.
The next day I had a bad headache and it felt like it was breaking. I forced myself to get up because I remembered that I couldn't hide because I was drowsy. When I came out and everything was clean, shocks suddenly hit me. Did mommy know I was drinking?
Gosh! I'm feeling embarrassed . I hadn't even been able to wash when sir Stevenson appeared in front of me so I ran to the comfort room quickly. What else can he do here? How do I deal with him properly? It's like I'm talking to myself in the mirror. Whatever!
I went out of the comfort room and greeted it as if nothing had happened. He smiled.
"What about us sir?" no appetite if question because I want him to leave.
"I'm going to say goodbye to Axel before I leave. Is he awake yet?" It's a question.
"Ahmm not yet! Maybe you'll come back later," I said.
"Maybe I shouldn't just wait," he said as he picked up the magazine and read it ..
Haixt! is he really mad, I whispered.
"Are you saying anything Andrea?" It's a question.
"Oh! No sir. Do you want coffee or chocolate," I asked.
"You," it replied.
"Huh?" astonished I said. Is what I heard right.
"I said you take care," he replied.
"Okay sir. I'll get you something to drink in a moment," I said. And get out of here, I whispered.
I didn’t know he followed me into the kitchen.
"Who's going away?" it's a question.
To my shock I dropped the cup I was holding.
"It's grasshopper," I said suddenly.
And I didn't realize that I had a wound on my foot.
"Andrea, your foot is bleeding," he said once close to me and suddenly lifted me up.
